What is the best way to mount the UVB under the screen? Also, I measured her basking temps using the temperature gun, and it measured around 105 degrees in the basking area. She/he is still not eating much. We gave her a bath and she did eat a little bit of hibiscus, but that is all she would...

Whoops forgot the pics

I believe I have a ReptiMed 75 W basking bulb. It is NOT a colored infrared. That is my science background talking, thinking of all radiant heat in terms of infrared. I have included pictures of my tank set up. I have a 36 x24 x 18 tank ready to go once she (I think its a she, but really have...

Sorry, I said infrared, I think that is the scientist in me. I always think of heat as infrared. He does have a basking bulb made for reptiles. I don't remember which brand, but I bought it at LLL reptile. So I have both a basking bulb and a ceramic heater for warmth.

I haven't been on here since I lost my dragon, Lizard to adenovirus a little over a year ago. We finally decided to get a new dragon. We bought a little 2 month old. This dragon is much younger than our last one was. Lizard also ate like a pig right from the get go. This one isn't eating much...

We had to euthanize Lizard last night. When we got his blood work back there were some serious issues going on with his liver and the vet thought for sure based on that and some spots on his lungs that these were very indicative of ADV. It was all too much for our little boy. I'm really...

Thank you. I am doing all I can for him.

More bad news. His x-rays showed pneumonia and possibly adenovirus. If adenovirus, then it will be hard to treat. I'm so so heartbroken.

I had to rush Lizard to the vet today. He was having trouble breathing. They are now keeping him overnight, treating him with stronger antibiotics, taking x-rays, blood, and growing cultures of what's in his mouth. The pus/discharge in mouth has increased. He is going downhill so fast. He was...

He gets crickets or dubias 3 to 4 days a week and I dust his insects with calcium each time I feed the insects. I am going to read those posts. Thanks for bringing them to my attention. I am so new to being a lizard mama. But I love my guy so much. So I do also have some good news. So I just...

AHBD, I trust your expertise. Why would it not be wise to give him the antibiotics? If it is an infection, he would need it. If no infection, would it be detrimental to have it? I feel like I have a vet telling one thing and then you guys on here telling me another. I'm so confused and just...

Okay, I just talked to the vet. He thinks that he definitely has an infection which is causing all the swelling in his beard area. Also said that he is looking a little worse (which makes me want to cry). He gave him another injection, and says that he may need to get force feeding. Where do I...

Okay, I took him to the vet to get his second antibiotic and they were concerned. They didn't want to give him another antibiotic shot until the vet saw him. So my tech visit has turned into a vet visit. I'll post what the vet says. Should I plan to give him a hydrating bath tomorrow? He...

I just got back is fecal results and they are all negative. I'm so worried about my little man.
